Fable 2

I believe this is going to be the game of the year. Big call i know, but having seen the vdis that have been going around, i can't wait till october 21. I've got my preorder, even though it probly won't sell out....

One of the major selling points for me is the online multiplayer, where someone can join your game at any point and play through the story with you, sharing experience and gold, which bridges the gap between pc and console games in that department. I played through the original (the lost chapters), and thought i was fantastic, and its there was great appeal in playing through the game multiple times after completing it, as the were different ways you could go to the game. In Fable 2, many of the barriers that limited you in the original are crashed through, with endless new freedoms added to the game.

It is based 500 years after fable 1, so the world is very different, and technology has improved dramatically. for exapmple the long bow has been replaced by the gun. You can also chose to start a family. When you find a wife/husband, you can then also chose wether to use contraception, and if you chose not to, you'll have children. this part of the game doesnt really appeal to me, but it is just one example of the freedom this game is going to give you.

I really liked the first fable which is odd because I normally hate these type of games. I'm looking forward to this and Banjo coming out on the 360!

360 exclusive. i'd imagine that would anger quite a few people... but i wont be one of them.

It's never been confirmed as exclusive, Lionhead have stated they want to get 1 platform right before they think about others.

This from Molyneux on the possibility of a PC version recently too:

If you recall we didn’t release a PC version of Fable immediately. I don’t think we even announced it immediately. There’s no announcement either positive or negative on a PC version just yet.

You see you said all the maybes and mights there, I’ll leave that with you! But these are the sorts of things as you can imagine I get into an enormous amount of trouble for. I have to be very careful!


It may take a while, but I'm sure a PC version will come.

The game is awesome, i enjoyed reading the diary entries from the 3 skeletons in the caves had a great laugh about them planning to poison eachother lol. Also that blacksmith job the last star is painful to get i think my best chain multi was 12 or 13 it becomes very hard after that.
